For the next year things are pretty stable regarding the FAA. However, next year the funding issue will come up again and with it the attempts by many to profit on our hobby. One of those attempts this year, which I'm sure will come up again, was to require kit "manufacturers" to go through a certification process on every kit. I would not bet on building for profit being exempted. Doing anything for profit in our hobby is scrutinized as being a non-hobby related activity and can be regulated. Building for profit could easily be considered manufacturing.
